That is what happen when you mix and match system packages and pip packages:
eventually, something breaks.

Something is FUBAR with (system) beautifulsoup and python 3.12. What? Most
likely the packet on your system is too old for python3.12 and use a deprecated
API.

Possible Solution: use a venv

If you are writing software: use a wrapper to activate the venv when the
software is called.
